David Oldfield, "I have no relationship with the Queensland party in any shape or form"

Over the last two weeks I have been asking questions about post November 23 and David Oldfield's political ambitions in this party.
This has led to my resigning as One Nation web master and, last weekend, being banned from attending one Nation meetings in NSW.
In the link above David Oldfield is quoted as saying, "I have no relationship with the Queensland party in any shape or form" when asked about the court case. This sentence sums up the true picture.
As one of only three directors in Pauline Hanson's One Nation this is a quite extraordinary statement for him to make. While Pauline Hanson is clearly in the firing line Oldfield, who pulled himself up on her popularity into the position of NSW MLC for One Nation, now wants nothing to do with her plight.
Quite clearly, Oldfield's ambitions post November 23 are for the party's leadership - should Hanson be convicted of fraud.
While the One Nation MPs in Queensland have held meetings and are prepared for the outcome of the appeal things are not so rosy for Pauline. Several One Nation members, including ex-Pauline Hanson Support Movement President Paul Trewartha have been interviewed by police from "Operation Tier" - investigating fraud.
It is quite clear that fraud charges against Ms Hanson, who is currently in the US, will be laid should the appeal be lost. Yet One Nation members continue to be kept in the dark - obviously on the orders of David Oldfield.
It's about time certain One Nation members who support Pauline Hanson took a wake-up call.
